Next weekend, Si Taai Vanise Imamura, wife of Si Gung will be in Rio for an event organized by MYVT Copacabana School, which is under the direction of Si Sok Ursula Lima, lecturing and doing work geared toward parents, professionals and the kids class.The event receiving the Clan leaders is as important as the practice sessions. Because it is also a component of the program that values ​​MYVT complete training of the practitioner.

On February 5, 1994 , when Si Sok was still 15 years old , Si Taai wrote a document that would help develop the organizational thinking to the MYVT schools heads at the time. The spirit of the document continues today . Here are some parts of the text that Si Taai wrote , which show how careful attention , is also present in any action of our day-to-day ...

" ... To organize a seminar , it is not only to know what you have to do before, during and after the event . Is of utmost importance to consider the tripod formed by: organizers , public and speaker .... Because it is a Ving Tsun event , you need to know to reconcile your obligations as a member of the Kung Fu Family and as a leader of your organization , and finally, you must be and act as a professional ... the organizer should not confuse his roles of To Dai and professional ( be a " son " when he should be professional and be professional when he should be a " son " ) ... the guest ( Si Gung , Daai Si Hing , etc. ) will be ' fixed ' during the event , and can not worry about extra problems... ... "

In 2002 , I had the opportunity to spend a whole weekend with Si Taai . She spoke about her work with children through the Ving Tsun . About respecting the child , and not teach them like "small adults " and yes, through play activities involving the Ving Tsun , awaken in each one , their " inner warrior " . This idea , which at the time Si Taai used the book " Iron John " by Robert Bly as example :

" ... When a boy growing up in a dysfunctional family ( there may not be any other type of Family ) , his inner warriors will be dead very soon. Warriors , mythologically , raise their swords to defend the king . The king in a child represents and defends her spirit´s mood . But when we are children our mood is easily conditioned and dominated by mood more powerful , stronger, more terrifying , from the parents in a confused family . Could say that when inner warriors can not protect our mood from the disintegration or defend our body from invasion , the warriors collapse, go into a trance and die . warriors that I speak do not cross the limit aggressively . they exist , to defend this limit ... " ( excerpt from " Iron John " by Robert Bly )

In 2011 I had a great opportunity to spent an entire weekend with Si Taai and Si Gung in Sao Paulo City during a class at a University in Sao Paulo. Si Sok Felipe Seabra was with me. Take a look HERE to see how it was fun all the time!
